The waters off the coast especially down near the southeast and the mid atlantic coast are very warm. Euro has a Cat 1 into the border of LA and TX maybe,but most forecasts are going for below normal tropical activity this year in the ATL basin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already more in the bucket than all weekend Yeah models were showing only a few showers for early this morning. Definitely a surprise that the morning is turning out to be a total washout.

That’s flat out wrong. Colorado State increased their forecast to above normal. As are most others. You may be thinking of the preseason forecasts. The MDR is back to normal temp wise after a cool spell for a couple years. The Gulf and off the SE are positively hot. Very good chance of seeing a high end cat 5 in that area. Not to mention the Enso state being weak nino right now. Only strong ninos really destroy Atlantic tropical activity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already more in the bucket than all weekend Yeah didnt expect that. Its hasn't been more than a persistent drizzle and mist here. Dreary but also got us just below 70 for a little while. A brief cool break is ok. Lot of flash flooding down around DC that's where the action is. 3.3" in 1 hr. https://twitter.com/capitalweather/status/1148232536155463680?s=19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the warm water temps-also near the east coast too. Regardless of seasonal forecasts, whatever gets going could be a monster given the +++STT's.

ForestHillWx Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 With that ridge focused over the plains, we would downslope more than last summer thereby mitigating excessive humidity correct? I'll trade 95/50 for 83/70 anyday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one cares about Central Park anymore anyway, it doesn't reflect NYC weather in any way. I dont know why the media ever uses them anymore, they should just use LGA which is far more reflective of urban NYC. I wish the NWS would send a bulletin to the media to tell them to stop using Central Park numbers. All we get now is Lee Goldberg telling us that the wind and temp reports from Central Park are not representative of the area- but he keeps on quoting them and the highs and lows there. Either that or move the Central Park equipment out into the Sheep Meadow (or set up duplicate equipment there and just use their numbers and only keep the original equipment for historical purposes) or some other open area lol. No one really cares about weather continuity from the 1800s anymore anyway, we all know the climate was far different back then. Unfortunately, even top level meteorologists on the Accuweather Professional website, when doing comparisons of 90+ days in the east, BOS, NYC, PHL, DCA among others, use Central Park as the benchmark for New York City. They then attempt to do analyses based on this flawed data. For example, trying to explain why as of June 28 NY City still had not reached 90 (it had, just not in Central Park) or why New York had fewer 90+ days in 2018 than Boston did (in reality LGA had substantially more). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is logic in the decision to retain the Central Park benchmark. The aim is to report the weather rather than to measure urban heat island effects. I have no doubt that the concrete jungles we live in are hotter than the relatively green acres of Central Park, but that does not make the Central park data 'flawed'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that the concrete jungles we live in are hotter than the relatively green acres of Central Park, but that does not make the Central park data 'flawed'. The Central Park data is flawed due to the sensor being blocked by trees and foliage from sunlight and open airflow. Not because it’s located in a park. The open areas of the park are probably 1-3 degrees warmer for highs than the sensor area that is blocked. The old sensor was in an open area before 1996 with no obstructions. This is why NYC has an artificial 90 degree day cooling trend with more 90 degree days in 1991 and 1993 than 2010. Place sensors at a horizontal distance of 2 times the height of the nearest object (tree, structure, etc). [Example: 40 feet away from a 20 foot tall tree]. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 My observation for this morning is that it's absolutely beautiful outside. I've been working around the yard and garden for the last hour or so and it feels great. If the weather was just like this, no warmer and no cooler, for 6 months a year it would be wonderful. We had a super thick dew this morning and the fog watered the foliage sufficiently for the day pretty much like in the coastal range areas of the Pacific coast where Redwoods grow a few hundred feet tall with ~20" of rain a year. While I'd love to live in the coast range chances are it will never happen so if anyone can figure out a way to keep the weather like this here I'm in for support 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 The warmer temperatures showing up in all the extended guidance will only reinforce the 80-90% above normal July temperature streak for the 2010’s. The departure increase from June into July has been a common feature.

SACRUS Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Caveat to next week's strong heat would be the remnants of any Tropical system moving north out of the GOM and subsequent slow treck east. Liekly means some persistent rains into the MS valley for several days ahead of ejecting east. But ahead of that today should fetch more 90s for the metro area. 11Am Roundup: JFK: 85 EWR: 85 ISP: 84 TEB: 84 New Brunswck: 83 LGA: 83 BLM: 82 ACY: 82 PHL: 81 NYC: 81 TTN: 79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
